Thanks Aduma. If you're using 60lb topshot, what lb test running line braid are you using?

I fish 65# braid with a ~50' topshot of 80# mono when I am bait fishing. For jigging I use a couple setups. When fishing the shallower water and/or lighter 6-10oz jigs I use a softer rod and shorter 20' 50-60# topshot and 40 or 50# braid. When in the deep and using big 14-20+ oz jigs I go to 65# braid with a longer 50' topshot again, just like when bait fishing.

Thanks.
How often are you able to go with 6-10 oz jigs? I love jigging. What style jigs does one use for tiles?

It all depends on conditions and depth being fished. I will take some pictures of the jigs I use.

Awesome, that would be great & very much appreciated. Would any of my cod jigs we used in the GOM work, e.g, slovkrogens, lav jigs, crippled herring, hammered diamonds, etc?
Thanks again!
